Next-Gen Battery Storage
A utility in Oregon recently announced the largest wind-solar-storage project in the U.S that will generate nearly 380 MW of energy. This is a good example of how utilities are storing energy from intermittent sources (like wind or solar) in grid-scale batteries. Grid-scale batteries are the perfect match to wind and solar installations, storing energy during peak production and releasing power ...

All Gateways are Not Created Equal
Often it can be said that your solar system is only as good as the solar panels and inverters. You know, “higher wattage is always better”. But what if that is just a myth? Making power is only one element of the equation. You also need to manage that power intelligently. And you also need to have choices, based upon changes in public policy dictated by public utility commissions. ...

STATCOM based voltage-frequency regulation for SEIG driven by an uncontrolled speed turbine
This article presents the analysis and the control of a stand-alone self excited induction generator (SEIG) intended for rural applications. SEIG along with the STATCOM with battery energy storage (BES) in its DC side makes it possible to control the terminal voltage and frequency during rotor speed and load variation. Constant frequency control is carried out by the load angle 'δ', without rotor ...

Battery Storage will have a Profound Impact on Smart Buildings
Often the best ideas are the most simple and elegant. If electric vehicles and consumer devices can have battery storage why can’t buildings? And if buildings can pull electricity from the grid at off peak times and store it in batteries, wouldn’t that save money? Since 2009, Stem based in California, have been working on these questions and disrupting the energy storage industry. ...

Dispatching of wind farms using battery energy storage
In this paper, a STATCOM interfaced battery energy storage system (BESS) is considered for smoothing intermittent power output of a large wind farm so that it can be dispatched. The main advantage of the system is that it can inject both real power (by charging/discharging the BESS) and the reactive power to the system. The paper investigates the main design issues related to BESS – the control ...

Dispatchable Power Purchase Agreements and Your Future
Over the last decade we have witnessed an unprecedented use of the PPA. It has financed billions of dollars of solar projects around the world. But they are going to change. Utilities no longer look at solar the same way. And you shouldn’t as well. With the advent of more storage options every day, you and your solar plant will behave differently. No longer will you be pushing power ...
